There are a lot of manmade problems facing the forest today, most of which will come to haunt us a few years later. The trees are being cut down like never before meaning that our future and that of our children hangs in the balance. What will a world or a country without trees look like? I think it would be a useless world and it is not only this, something dangerous is looming too and it is something that needs our collective responsibility before it is too late. I don’t know the statistic of the animals we have right now but I have a belief and it is a belief that sends a strong signal of fear through my spine when I think over it that most of the animals, elephants, monkeys, rhinoceros just to mention but a few will be no more in the next thirty or to forty years later and this is going to be a very big blow to the country and who will carry the blame? Or do we mean to say that Mother Nature will have to be blamed for that. I think not because that is not true. Animals and trees have the natural rights to be protected by humans because without trees we are completely nothing. In South Sudan, trees are being cut down and animals killed as a result of poverty. People want to survive through charcoal and timbers and animals are an addition. It is a part of life but why we cut down trees without replacing them and the killing of big animals like elephants and giraffe is another question that I want to be answered if there was anybody willing to do that for me because we are destroying our own future without the knowledge of the great harm we are trying to create.

The cost may be wanting but it should be understood that the world body FIFA is in the lead in contributing to and supporting the project. This time around the management of funds should be keenly monitored and the local football body put in focus to properly account...
From Easter to Pope’s Visit
By Guest Akol Arop Akol Odongo Odoyo Peace begins at home and to society and in the same way, conflict as part of human life could start from home (individuals) and then spread outside to affect others. This shows that the confusions that South Sudan has been going through are first from personal concepts and then escalated by those who don’t seek the truth out of rumors. Simply, an example could be a hate speech or one picking a gun to kill someone he has an issue with. When relatives...
Pay attention to Abyei issues
The two sisterly countries which should handle the Abyei problems seem too busy that they could not pay attention to the disputed land. Lives are perishing day by day, but there is no quick solution to bring peaceful settlement. Sudan is undergoing a serious political crisis which is characterized with demonstrations by citizens demanding a civilian government to be installed while South Sudan, on the other side, is also experiencing both political and communal conflicts despite the peace process going on. This means the two governments are very busy that...
